Interlochen Rally


Late Wednesday afternoon, I ran up to Toledo to meet up some of the VROCers on our way to Interlochen, Michigan for a long weekend of bike riding and camping. By the time I got up there, the odometer showed another 450+ miles had been clicked off. It was a great weekend, with lots of good friends, good food, and good times. The campgrounds was motorcycle focused. Temperatures dripped into the mid-30's on one of the nights! On the way back, it stormed all the way from Interlochen to Marysville, with some storms strong enough to drop visibility almost zero! Heavy rain, temps in the 50's & 60's, high winds, and a motorcycle....brrrrrr....still trying to warm up and dry out! The trip was approximately 1015 miles long, half in miserable conditions.

Here is home for a few days, my transport, and a relaxing morning in a camp chair.

And yes, Buddy came along. I stopped at a local winery, and they invited him in to share in some of their wares. Even had him behind the wine tasting bar, and he jumped right into a glass, ready to do his tasting one bottle at a time!


After having lunch in Traverse City, a couple came running up with their photographer. They had just gotten married, thought I had a really good looking motorcycle, and wanted to take their picture with it!
